Writing poetry especially poetry is very rewarding. I enjoy the process as well. Unlike prose it has a greater challenge to it. There are some very confidently written poems, but many cause me to push muscles around in my head. It feels good to surprise myself by doing this. The result can feel as real as a painting in its effect on my imagination. Is my poetry mostly symbolism? I don't know. A lot depends on how awesomely cool I think the poem is when I read it over. Honestly I believe poetry writing will spread as more quality modern examples of poetry are created. So poets out there get cracking.
